Allied Telesis 48i, 16fi, 24i specification

RAPIER 'i' SERIES WAN Capable Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switches

Choose from 100FX, copper Gigabit, or fiber Gigabit modules. Alternatively, choose unpopulated GBIC module and populate it with one of five GBIC types from Allied Telesis.

The Rapier 'i' series offers an unmatched combination both switching and routing capabilities coupled with a flexible set of specialized features and uplink options.

Fabulous Fiber

With 16 fiber 100FX ports the Rapier 16fi is uniquely suited to demanding environments where not only the full-feature richness and switching performance of the Rapier 'i' switch is needed, but also where cable security and electro-magnetic immunity (EMI) are considerations. As well as performing under these demanding environments the 16fi offers the flexibility to provide access to the end station or to perform as an aggregation device. Due to the exceptional cable length afforded by 16fi's 100FX ports, networks that require an aggregation switch that provides routing between distant sites of up to 2000 meters can be comfortably met.

IPv6 - The Future

Don't be shut out of the next generation of the Internet Protocol, IPv6.The Rapier series enables networks to take advantage of IPv6's important benefits:

•Addresses are 16Bytes long in contrast to IPv4's 4Byte addresses.

•Globally unique addresses with more levels of addressing hierarchy, to reduce the size of routing tables.

•Auto-configuration of addresses by hosts.

•Improved scalability of multicast routing, by adding a 'scope' field to multicast addresses.

•A new type of address, the 'anycast address,' which is used to send a packet to any one of a group of devices.

Bandwidth Limiting

All Rapier 'i' series switches come with asymmetric bidirectional bandwidth limiting, per port or per QoS traffic class, at no additional cost. With bandwidth limiting, Network Service Providers can define throughput levels for each customer and sell their various service levels at tiered prices.These features are ideal to manage different applications like VoIP, Web browsing, Video and email to manage fee-based customers.The Rapier 'i' bandwidth limiting feature provides the smallest granulation available in Layer 3 products. Service Providers can define ingress limits down to 64Kbps segments and egress limits down to 1Mbps segments.The segment definitions can be

asymmetric and each port can be set to different values. An additional benefit is that loop back ports are not required.

Stacking

Stacking provides Web and CLI based management of up to nine switches with the same effort as for one switch.The Allied Telesis solution uses open standards interfaces as stacking links so that many switches can be stacked across different sites, which is not possible using the proprietary stacking cable solutions. Also the use of open standards interfaces avoids the use of expensive specialized hardware with limited topologies.
